openSUSE:People of openSUSE GSoC Special
There are several projects, which participate in Google´s Summer of Code 2011[1]. openSUSE mentors 16 projects. We, the people of openSUSE team want to give you a view into our 16 projects and want to show you the guys behind our GSoC contributions.
In the next days, I (Kim) will create a special question sheet which offers besides the normal questions some special questions for our 16 coders.
Then we will publish some interviews as usual and will introduce some of the contributors and their projects to you. We can´t promise that we can interview all people, but we will give our best to interview as many people as possible.
The interviews will appear on news.opensuse.org and of course here as a link to our news site.
I really look forward to our contributors and project in the 2011 GSoC!
